the fact of the matter is we've always known despite the killing of osama bin laden that there's been a series of franchise organizations directly related to al qaeda. they've been in the caucuses in the north africa and the al qaeda which committed attacks in amgeria, as well as in libya. there have been, of course, the granddaddy of these franchise groups. al qaeda and the arabian peninsula where the continuous secret shadowy drone wars continue as we speak against terrorists. just the other day the u.s. drone strike took out a series of al qaeda operatives and now we something we never wanted to see again. al qaeda in iraq has resurrected itself and more al qaeda operatives in syria. and then, just within the last 24 hours, mara, the dr. evil of al qaeda, the number two who's still alive and needs to be dead issued a statement after several years calling on attacks on united states. so, there's a confluence of circumstances, including the end of ramadan to make this a very unholy period for american diplomacy. >> now, let's turn to the middle east peace talks which took place earli

he was one of osama bin laden's deputies. he's highly connected in the al qaeda structure. there is a real threat. it was supposedly just limited to yemen. but if you look at the peninsula, the fact they have a new leadership, the fact they are still angry about this drone attack that killed last month one of their top leaders, i think it led people in the state department to wonder whether this could have more international linkages, whether the attack could slip out of yemen, whether there was a more international dynamic, if you will. and then perhaps acting in an abundance of caution, some acting in a heavy-handed manner, perhaps because they got so burned because of benghazi they ordered a blanket closure of facilities. >> i want to ask you to weigh in on something we've been talking about, secretary kerry's efforts to renew peace talks between israelis and palestinians. i'm wondering if broader conflicts throughout the region, talk about later on the show, whether or not it will complicate the process from your perspective. >> there's two ways to look at it. you have

how is it different than it was when osama bin laden was alive? >> bin laden believed in centralization. he believed in a centralized organize station. that didn't work. al qaeda didn't work because the united states went into afghanistan and bombed all the camps to dust. what ended up happening is there were other operatives from al qaeda who realized it is better to have affiliates and different groups in different countries with their own leadership, media wings and coordinate at the top level. even if al qaeda disappears in one country or another, it persists in particular areas that it has a longstanding presence. places like yemen. >> when you look at the number of organizations you see those. yet yemen issued a statement saying the evacuation serves the interests of the ex treemists. they use it as a re kruting tool. we have talked about inspire magazine which they use to inspire people to jihad. they always have said that when the united states takes an action to keep its citizens safe it's a victory for them. >> they had an entire edition
